I wonder whether we should divide the problem into two parts:

- One part is whether in a particular buffer 0x60/0x27 should be 
displayed so that they look like grave/vertical quote or like open/close 
quote.  This is determined by mode and individual user preference; this 
problem is specific to quotes.

- One part is whether the glyphs at index 0x60/0x27 in a particular font 
display as grave/vertical quote or like open/close quote.  This has 
nothing to do with user preference or mode. Emacs could be configured so 
that it knows about common free fonts. This part seems like it would be 
best tackled in a general way by allowing per-font control over 
character to glyph index mapping (or is there some way to do this in 
Emacs do this already?).
